Samsung officially launched its latest generation of foldables on July 9, with 3 devices on roll call: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. These devices have received their fair share of criticism for reasons ranging from the lack of S Pen support to underwhelming camera performance.

In a recent post on the r/Samsung subreddit, a disgruntled owner clearly made his disappointment in Galaxy Flip 7's camera performance known with his short post saying “Disappointed with Flip 7 cam”. The post has now been deleted by moderators, but not before some other Redditors expressed their agreement with the opinion.

Most of the comments said one thing — the photos taken by Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 were grainy and overall, the camera performance felt like a downgrade. The significance of the complaints becomes clearer when you consider the fact that a majority of the Redditors complaining upgraded or perhaps downgraded from the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

I'm doing a trade in and have the Flip 5. Side by side comparing the cameras, I feel so disappointed. Both 12 MP and 50 MP didn't make a difference. The Flip 5 got better photos and caught more details and Flip 7's are mostly washed out. — Careless_Ad3940 on Reddit.

These Redditors are not alone, as the rather disappointing camera performance of the Galaxy Flip 7 (curr. $1,099.99 on Amazon) is echoed in reviews on the device from multiple sources, including CNET, The Guardian, and GSMArena. Some users on X have also shared similar opinions, with one describing the Flip 7 cameras as “horrible”. It remains unclear why the Reddit post was removed, as it didn't appear to violate any of the 13 rules of the subreddit.
